Objective:To investigate the interactive effects of loss of the only child and childhood trauma on brain structure, function, and structure-function coupling, and to analyze their association with clinical symptom.Methods:A total of 112 parents who lost their only child and participated in the psychological aid project organized by Local Civil Affairs Department in Sunan aear of Jiangsu Province in China from April 2021 to July 2021 and 36 healthy controls recruited from the community during the same period were selected. Based on childhood trauma questionnaire scores, parents who had lost their only child were divided into those with childhood trauma (group A, n=55) and those without childhood trauma (group B, n=57); similarly, the healthy controls were divided into a group with childhood trauma (group C, n=12) and a group without childhood trauma (group D, n=24). All participants were evaluated by clinical scales such as Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD), Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). MRI 3D-T1 structural images and resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging data were collected; gray matter volume (GMV) and degree centrality (DC) were calculated by standardized image preprocessing procedure, and ratio of DC to GMV within each voxel was computed to obtain the structure-function coupling map. A two-factor analysis of variance was used to analyze the independent effect and interactive effect of loss of the only child and childhood trauma on GMV, DC, and DC/GMV coupling value. Spearman rank correlation analysis was used to evaluate the associations of above indicators in brain regions with significant difference in independent effect and interactive effect with clinical scale scores. Results:(1) Compared with the participants without childhood trauma (group B+group D), the participants with childhood trauma (group A+group C) showed significantly reduced GMV in the left middle temporal gyrus and right dorsolateral superior frontal gyrus (voxel-level P<0.01, cluster-level P<0.05, Gaussian random field [GRF] corrected). A significant interactive effect of loss of the only child and childhood trauma on GMV in the right precuneus was observed (voxel-level P<0.01, cluster-level P<0.05, GRF corrected). (2) Compared with the healthy controls, parents who had lost their only child exhibited significantly increased DC in the left middle frontal gyrus (voxel-level P<0.01, cluster-level P<0.05, GRF corrected). Compared with participants without childhood trauma, participants with childhood trauma showed significantly increased DC in the right thalamus (voxel-level P<0.01, cluster-level P< 0.05, GRF corrected). A significant interactive effect of loss of the only child and childhood trauma on DC in the left dorsolateral superior frontal gyrus was observed (voxel-level P<0.01, cluster-level P<0.05, GRF corrected). (3) Compared with the healthy controls, parents who had lost their only child showed significantly decreased DC/GMV coupling value in the left middle frontal gyrus (voxel-level P<0.01, cluster-level P<0.05, GRF corrected). Compared with participants without childhood trauma, participants with childhood trauma showed significantly increased DC/GMV coupling value in the right thalamus (voxel-level P<0.01, cluster-level P<0.05, GRF corrected). A significant interactive effect of loss of the only child and childhood trauma on DC/GMV coupling value in the left dorsolateral superior frontal gyrus was observed (voxel-level P<0.01, cluster-level P<0.05, GRF corrected). (4) Correlation analysis revealed that GMV in the right precuneus with significant interactive effect of loss of the only child and childhood trauma was positively correlated with MMSE score ( r s=0.317, P=0.010, Bonferroni corrected). GMV in the left middle temporal gyrus with significant independent effect of childhood trauma was positively correlated with both HAMD score and HAMA score ( r s=0.362, P=0.006; r s= 0.349, P=0.008, Bonferroni corrected). Conclusion:Loss of the only child and childhood trauma can interact to jointly affect the brain structure, function, and structure-function coupling; and some of these brain structure alterations are closely associated with clinical symptoms.

Objective To explore the factors affecting the prognosis of patients with carbapenem-resistant Ente-robacterales(CRE)healthcare-associated infection(HAI)after neurosurgical procedure,construct and validate a nomogram prediction model.Methods Data of patients with CRE infection after neurosurgical procedure in a tertia-ry hospital in Shanghai from 2018 to 2023 were collected,patients were divided into death group and survival group based on prognosis.LASSO regression and multivariate COX regression analysis were adopted to screen indepen-dent risk factors and construct nomogram prediction model.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve,calibra-tion curve,and decision curve analysis(DCA)were drawn based on Bootstrap internal validation method to evaluate the effectiveness of the model.Results A total of 241 patients were included in analysis,with 221 in the survival group and 20 in the death group.The LASSO and COX regression analysis results showed that gender,length of hospital stay>30 days,decreased monocyte percentage(MONO%),and elevated creatinine(Cr)were independent risk factors for death in patients with CRE HAI after neurosurgical procedure.The nomogram prediction model for risk of death in CRE patients after neurosurgical procedure was established based on these findings.The model vali-dation results showed that at the 30th day,the calibration curve approached the ideal curve,the area under the ROC curve was 0.981(95%CI:0.947-1.000),the DC A curve showed that when the threshold of risk of death excee-ded 8.36%,there was a higher net benefit value.Conclusion The nomogram prediction model for prognosis during hospitalization in CRE HAI patients after neurosurgical procedure constructed based on LASSO-COX regression analysis has good goodness of fit and predictive performance,which can provide reference for early screening of high-risk patients and implementation of intervention measures in clinical practice.

Objective To screen the epithelial mesenchymal transformation(EMT)-related genes in lung adenocarcinoma,perform functional enrichment analysis and construct protein interaction network(PPI).Ac-cording to the competitive endogenous RNA(ceRNA)hypothesis and the effect of gene expression on the prognosis of patients,the ceRNA network was constructed.Methods The differentially expressed genes be-tween lung adenocarcinoma tissues and normal tissues were screened by gene expression map and tumor ge-nome map database,and the genes were imported into GenClip3 to obtain EMT-related genes.Metascape was used to perform gene ontology and Kyoto encyclopedia of gene and genome enrichment analysis,and STRING database was used to construct PPI and obtain EMT key genes.The relationship between key genes and prog-nosis was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier analysis.Analysis tools such as miRTarbase,miRNet database,and EN-CORI were used to construct ceRNA networks.Results In this study,156 lung adenocarcinoma EMT-related genes and their key genes cadherin 1,interleukin-6,matrix metalloproteinase-9,platelet endothelial cell adhe-sion molecule,cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A,α1-Ⅰcollagen gene,secreted phosphoprotein 1,TIMP in-hibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-1,caveolin-1 and Zeste homologue enhance core 2(EZH2)-1 were identi-fied.The PPI of key genes was predicted,and the therapeutic drugs targeting these key genes including salvia miltiorrhiza,ginseng lu,ginseng leaf and ginseng flower were also predicted.The prognostic ceRNA regulatory network of EZH2/hsa-miR-101-3p/GSEC was constructed.Conclusion This study describes using bioinfor-matics methods system in the process of EMT gene interactions,according to the lung adenocarcinoma pa-tients clinical data to construct the prognosis of the EMT process related ceRNA network,for the treatment and prognosis of lung adenocarcinoma judgment provides a new way of thinking.
